Any car you like. Old or new. What would you have ? What would you steer clear of ?

[WildRosie]

My likes are rather old so forgive me if some are unfamiliar. In no particular order:

Rolls Royce Corniche Convertible. I'll settle for a Silver Shadow.

Wolseley Elf or Riley Hornet, i.e. a Mini with a boot.

Volvo 164.

Sunbeam Alpine; sister car to the Rapier, essentially a Hillman Hunter Coupe.

Chrysler Avenger. A Hillman will do but I like the big headlights on the Chrysler.

Chrysler 180/2 litre. Looks like a scaled-up Avenger.

BTW, l like the old Rootes Group cars. There was something about the styling.

No modern Audis or BMWs please.

I'll have an Aston Martin DBS please, if you're offering.

Porsche 356. Not fussed which iteration.
Audi TT (2008) - don’t like the new models.
If someone were to offer me a Morgan I certainly wouldn’t turn them down.

Always wanted a mark two cortina. A bronze one.

Mclaren f1 please, or a pagani zonda, or a lot cheaper; a lotus evora

Can I just have Chris Harris please? He can bring whatever he's driving with him 🙂

The Aston Martin safety car and a mclaren p1gtr.

Oh and a Mercedes’ g wagon

In my youth I drove several Sunbeam Alpines, and a Tiger.

Nothing like a Hillman Hunter Coupe 🤔

1980s Mercedes 500 SL and a Japanese Ambulance spec Toyota Hiace van please

Jaguar E Type, cherry red

Can I have these please:
Classic mini
TR4
Frogeye Sprite
Delahaye 165 cabriolet

Perfect, thanks 😊

Porsche 959 - late 80’s Ferrari thrasher, 4 wheel drive, top speed over 195 MPH (where, how?!)

etulosba. I mean the Alpine from the early 1970s, part of the Hillman Arrow range. A bigger and more angular car than the one in your picture.

Who is Chris Harris ?

Gene Hunts red Audi Quatro would be lovely.

I'm also partial to the old Austin-Morris 1800, aka the Landcrab. The Wolseley Six version would be even better.

Isn't the Frogeye Sprite the same car as a Triumph Spitfire ?

Was going to say no BMW or Audi but I'd make an exception for the quattro with Gene Hunt in it

Triumph TR7 was always my dream car as a teenager, followed by an Opel Manta or Monza. If I won the lottery I'd get a navy blue Aston Martin DB9.

Saga in The Bridge has an old Porsche 911
That'll do nicely

If I didn’t give a fuck about the environment and had endless money to spend on a disgusting amount of fuel? A black on black Ford F-150.
Or a vintage 1970 Ford Mustang in cherry red 😍

Maserati Bora
or an E-type 2+2 with the fast back

In my childhood I had a ride in a 1927 Bentley. I'd love to drive one even if just once.

Vauxhall Nova - if anyone can get them to make them again, please do.

The Adam isn't a bad substitute (not that they make that any more either), but nothing - NOTHING - matches the Nova's character and quirks. When a Nova comes to you, it's not just a car - it's your car

A cherry red Austin Healey.

Isn't the Frogeye Sprite the same car as a Triumph Spitfire ?

No, it’s almost the same car as the MG Midget.

I wouldn’t mind a GT6, the six cylinder coupe version of the Spitfire. Like a baby E Type.

I had some of these in my youth!
Frogeye Sprite, MG Midget, several Minis. I also had a bright yellow Nova, but it didn’t evoke love in me.

If money and the environment were no object, I would love a Morgan.

DF always liked huge coach built ancient cars, so I remember with affection our old converted Rolls Royce hearse and the Austin Sheerline with running boards headlights the size of dinner plates and reading lights for backseat passengers, so I'd like one of those, too.
At 12 miles to the gallon.
